Mort and Gage Should Accept Items with Announcement

NPCs: Mort and Gage (race 40) in Thurgadin A

Expected Behavior: Players should be able to trade items to Mort and Gage. Mort and Gage will then announce in say "Thanks for the [[ITEM]] [[PLAYER NAME]]."

Evidence of Expected Behavior: Pretty much any Legacy of Steel news update between December 5, 2000 and December 4, 2001.

Current Behavior (Beta): "This NPC cannot accept items directly, right-click if you wish to make transactions."

Quote:

Bankers no longer take items - In order to help prevent people from losing items by giving them to their banker instead of putting them into their bank, players can no longer attempt to trade with bankers. A message will tell you to right-click the banker if you wish use your bank.

This must go in, it made being a high-level asshole so much more fun.

It was also very classic, I remember Mort and Gage being the best equipped characters on most any server. Especially servers that had dominant high-end guilds.

As an avid Legacy of Steel reader back in the day, I agree this should be implemented.

Currently the client prevents this. Let me see what I can do.

This is the area in client that is restricting it. I should be able to NOOP it via our DLL.

Code:

        v5 = *(_INT8 *)(a1 + 594);

        if ( v5 == 40 || v5 == 63 || v5 == 64 || v5 == 66 )

        {

          sub_5DFA00(8505, 0);

Trading to bankers fixed, pending DLL Push.

The actual message of 'thanks for the etc' will need to be added by nilbog.

So does the item get bounced back to you? Or put in your bank?

Cause clearly they aren't just eating it.

Clearly you would be wrong. They do eat it.

Nomnomnom.
